When people think of Africa, their first impression may be of the endless desert or the endless little black people.
In fact, it is not like that. Although the Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, it is only a part of North Africa in Africa. Africa also has mountains, lakes, and endless forests.
Africa's natural resources are very superior. It not only has abundant underground mineral resources, but also has many above-ground resources.
It's a pity that the superior natural environment has nurtured a group of people who only know how to hunt. They seem to have no other life skills except hunting. In many places, without the input of resources from the sovereign country, the population may drop by more than half in less than a year.
All starved to death.
In order to maintain their colonial rule, the European metropolitan countries had to continue to send blood to the colonies.
Of course, the sovereign nation is not a saint. They are also drawing blood while transfusing blood. What they draw is mineral resources, and what they import is the living materials that can keep the colonial people alive.
This can maintain the status quo when national consciousness has not yet awakened, but when national consciousness is generally awakened, this asymmetric exchange system will collapse.
The situation in Algeria is in this process of collapse.
It seems that Qin Zhiyuan is indeed the tinkerer of France now. When there is a problem in Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan will go to Corsica; when there is a problem on the French front line, Qin Zhiyuan will lead the army to fight with the Germans
to fight; when problems arise in Algeria, Qin Zhiyuan is also the best person to solve them.
But the situation in Algeria is completely different from that in Corsica.
When Qin Zhiyuan landed on Corsica, there were only a few thousand residents on the island, and the locals were not even as many as Qin Zhiyuan's troops. It can be said that from the time Qin Zhiyuan led his army to Corsica,
From that moment on, the natives of Corsica became a minority.
But when Qin Zhiyuan landed at the Port of Oran in Algeria, there were 6.5 million people in Algeria. Even if Qin Zhiyuan brought all the foreign legions over, it was still not enough to form a population advantage. Therefore, the experience of Corsica cannot be used here.
copy.
If you can't copy it, you can't copy it. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to completely copy the experience of Corsica. The greatest excitement in life is to face different unknowns at any time. If it is repeated day after day, it would be too boring.
So Qin Zhiyuan, who had the idea of responding to new challenges at any time, welcomed a new guest: Lillard Azshara.
After listening to Lillard Azshara's self-introduction, Qin Zhiyuan reached out to Lillard Azshara: Hello, Lillard.
But what Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect was that his kindness was not responded to.
You can call me Azshara, General. Lillard Azshara’s expression is not pretty.
Afterwards, Qin Zhiyuan learned that ordinary Algerians could be called by their first names, but Algerians with a certain social status should be called by their surnames.
For example, for Lillard Azshara, Qin Zhiyuan called him Lillard out of the habit of equality.
But Lillard Azshara certainly doesn’t think so. This lawyer who runs a law firm in Paris seems to have been spoiled by the French’s tolerant policy. He dared not extend his hand without directly correcting Qin Zhiyuan’s mistakes.
Come and respond to Qin Zhiyuan's kindness.
What do you mean by rejecting my friendship? Qin Zhiyuan's expression also turned cold, and he slowly retracted his hand.
At this time, Lillard Azshara seemed to realize what he had done. His hand had already been raised, but Qin Zhiyuan did not hold it, but retracted it firmly without any hesitation.
It's not like that. No one will refuse your friendship, Commander. It's just that you should respect our customs. You know, I have been waiting outside your office for three hours before seeing you. Lila
D'Aisala did not realize the seriousness of his mistake and only emphasized his own feelings one-sidedly.
So before that, do you respect me? Qin Zhiyuan walked back to his desk and sat down on his chair without any intention of giving up his seat. Even Misha who brought coffee was dismissed by Qin Zhiyuan.
Of course I respect you. I came as requested and waited for three hours. Isn't this enough to prove my respect? Lillard Azshara realized that Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards him had changed and explained quickly and quickly.
.
While Lillard Azshara was talking, he pulled up the chair opposite to his work and sat down in a deserted manner.
Well, the profession of lawyer is actually quite shameless under normal circumstances. The truth is not important. What is important is to be able to tell it as if it is the truth.
You are not God. It is impossible for me to put down my affairs to cater to your time. You are not qualified yet. Qin Zhiyuan is not polite at all.
If it weren't for representing locals, Lillard Azshara wouldn't even have the qualifications to ask for a meeting with Qin Zhiyuan. A lawyer may be a big shot in Algeria, where education is not common, but in Paris, he is nothing.
There is no comparison between famous generals who hold real power.
I knew you had a brilliant record, but I didn't expect you to be such an arrogant person. Lillard Azshara began to take a roundabout way.
Whether you are arrogant or not depends on whether the other person is worthy of respect. You have left a very bad impression on me now. To be honest, I don’t want to deal with a guy who doesn’t even understand basic social etiquette. Or maybe you do, but you keep emphasizing
You should get something, but you have forgotten what you should pay. Qin Zhiyuan took a sip of coffee, and he was ready to end this unpleasant conversation.
We have paid a lot, we have given almost everything, how come we have paid nothing? You have plundered almost everything we have. Our underground resources are mined by you, and the crops we grow provide you with a luxurious life. Even our people
I have to bleed and sacrifice for you. Have you obliterated all of this? But what you have brought us is only full of trauma and endless sorrow. Lillard Azshara looks righteous and awe-inspiring, and the words he speaks are also very contagious.
He is truly worthy of being a lawyer.
What is plunder? It is plunder only if we don’t pay any price. But do we not pay any price? Obviously we did not mine the resources and use local people as miners, but we also gave them wages so that they can support their families. We
We did buy agricultural products, but at the same time we also paid. And if you want to ask us what we brought here, look at the clothes you are wearing, the car you took when you came here, and the roads the car travels on.
We brought them. If we didn't import these industrial products, would you like to live back in the tent? Even the food you eat was brought by us. Without our input, wouldn't you just live on eating grapes? Qin Zhiyuan is not
There is no way to fight back.
In fact, Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that what they both said were false propositions. The plunder of colonies by the sovereign country was based on unequal exchange, but this is normal. Even in the 21st century, this exchange is still not equal.
, as for who will suffer, it depends on who needs it more urgently.
Ha, you took away the gold left by our ancestors and then gave us a pile of brass. Do we still need to be grateful for this kind of behavior?
From Sarah's standpoint, he could only persist.
Don't be so tragic. That piece of gold is not necessarily left to you by your ancestors. Strictly speaking, that piece of gold was left to them by the ancestors of the Berbers. For the Berbers, the same goes for you.
As an outsider, Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to taint himself and drag the other party into trouble.
The Berbers are the earliest indigenous people of Algeria. They have been living in Algeria since at least 10,000 BC.
Are you trying to legally obliterate the meaning of our entire nation? Lillard Azshara was surprised. He seemed to feel that a serious crisis was approaching.
No one wants to obliterate your nation. Don't pretend to be victims all day long. Compared to you, those Berbers are victims. Qin Zhiyuan still talks about the Berbers. This is Lila.
D'Essara could not refute.
After all, that was a long time ago, and we should still focus on the present. For example, drinking in public places, you must know that our tradition is not to drink alcohol, so please limit it appropriately in this regard. Lillard Azshara transferred back
Now, let’s not dwell on things that happened more than ten centuries ago.
The fetishism that Lillard Azshara believes in does not allow drinking.
This is understandable. You must know that Lirad Azshara was a nomadic people in the past. They did not engage in production at all. Naturally, they had no surplus food for making wine. Therefore, in order to better control the parishioners, their prophet simply did not allow wine.
Something appears.
Yes, your tradition prohibits drinking, but at the same time, there are many ethnic customs that allow drinking, and no matter what happens, you have to drink. So what should you do? Do you only respect your customs but not others?
Customs Qin Zhiyuan is actually talking about the Chinese, including the French.
Well, except for a few people in this world, most of them drink alcohol. Even Algerians drink secretly and buy alcoholic beverages from stores. It’s just that they don’t drink in public, even if
When buying drinks, they will be wrapped in newspapers or stuffed in clothes to buy them secretly. If someone finds out, this is a very embarrassing thing.
In this way, Algerians are also hiding their ears and doing things that make them happy.
In fact, not only Algerians, but everyone will subconsciously seek good luck and avoid bad luck. This is a part of human nature.
